Unfortunately we're still externally stalled on this. I'd suggest that
we give Juan owner access to the Mesa project in GitLab, so he can
connect the existing Igalia runners to our project. These runners
already do the execution for the gitlab.com project, so should be more
than enough to run ours until we can get the external runners.

Anyone object, agree, other?

Cheers,
Daniel
